Orlando begins in the sixteenth century with Orlando, a young man who lives life to the fullest. He continues on for two centuries until after a long sleep, he transforms into a woman, and is faced with the gender restrictions of the new eighteenth century. A romp through the ages and a meditation on time, gender, and sexuality, Woolf's Orlando has been called the longest love letter ever to be written in literary history. Ruhl's unique adaptation uses a chorus of characters to create instant lyrical and whimsical transformations as we follow Orlando through time.
Featuring Tess Plant-Thomas as Orlando, Morgan Altenhoff as Sasha, and Rob Grayson, Stephanie Farnum, and Erika Leachman as the Chorus.
Direction by Mary Plant-Thomas, Scenic Design by Peter Barnholdt, Lighting Design by Sarah Jane Bennett, Costume Design by Yuko Maikawa, Makeup Design by Terry Li, Sound Design by Matthew Tavianini, Stage Management by Chloe Clements, and Dramaturgy by Gabriella Steinberg.
